The best device for discouraging tailgaters is the one just above your neck located directly between your ears. It is without a doubt that the person doing the tailgating is totally absolutely wrong as there is no excuse for it ever but turning this potential life threatening situation into some kind of confrontation is really stupid - plain and clear. Using that spongy material we have all been given and keeping the peace is my weapon of choice. Regards, Jeff ------- / \ #[||||||]# * * Jeff Schwartz It's a JEEP thing, of course! '97 JGC LTD.
